Chapter 1210
Chapter 1210 "So you don't dare?” Cedrick pretended to sigh with regret, but there was shrewdness hidden in his
eyes.
"Honey, since Mr. Moran doesn't have the guts, you shouldn't make things difficult for him," Catelyn said.
Although she didn't know what Cedrick had in mind, she believed he would win the bet.
"That's right. I was abrupt." Cedrick pushed the chips in front of him with his long fingers in a domineering manner.
The chips scattered on the table with crashing sounds.
Cedrick held out his hand to Catelyn. "Darling, we should get going."
"OK." Catelyn gave Cedrick her hand.
"Wait." Zachary suddenly interrupted the conversation in a deep voice. "When did I ever say no?"
Zachary's henchman frowned slightly at his words and leaned close to Zachary's ear to whisper, seemingly advising
him not to be impulsive.

The lawyer soon arrived and drew up agreements for the transfer of property and power. Zachary and Cedrick
signed and sealed them. The agreements were spread in front of their eyes.
The dealer began to deal cards. The atmosphere became tenser and tenser.
Cedrick pulled Catelyn into his arms and sat down. "I always believe you are my goddess of luck and can bring me
good luck."
Catelyn joked with cold sweat on her hands. "If you lose and become poor, I'll talk to dad and kick you out."
"Darling, you're too heartless."
"I don't want to be poor anyway," Catelyn said with a smile." So, go for it!"
Zachary clenched his teeth as he listened to the two flirting.
Now, Zachary had the jack of spades and the king of spades, while Cedrick had only the 9 of spades and the 10 of
clubs.
Zachary's first two cards were more powerful than Cedrick's, so Zachary chose to continue betting, his knuckles
curling slightly as he tapped the table with them. "Cedrick, you have to think carefully. If you are afraid of losing
even your wife, quit now and just give me half of your assets."
Cedrick twisted his thin lips. "I never give up halfway. Since we are both determined to gamble to the end, let's get
all the cards directly."
The dealer saw that both sides had agreed, so he dealt out three more cards to them each.
Cedrick and Zachary turned their cards over at the same time. Zachary had three jacks.
Catelyn was scared half to death.
She wondered, 'Cedrick is not going to lose, is he?'
As expected, Cedrick was dealt a bad hand. There was not even a pair, not to mention a royal flush.
"Haha..." Zachary's mood was naturally good after he won such a big bet. "Cedrick, I'll use your assets to benefit
the people of Fidelysia."
The asset transfer agreement in front of Cedrick was immediately handed to Zachary in the presence of the
lawyer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZachary's smile broadened, and his henchman was extraordinarily surprised.
Catelyn showed an incredulous expression.
She thought, 'Cedrick really lost it all in just one game?'
"I'm going to the bathroom." Cedrick, with a desperate look on his face, got up and went to the bathroom.
Facing Catelyn, who was alone, Zachary provoked her. "If I had bet with Cedrick earlier, my useless son wouldn't
have put himself in jail for a mere few million dollars."
Soon, Cedrick came out of the bathroom.
He seemed to have washed his face, sweat sliding down his well-defined face.
Several buttons of his suit were undone, and his eyes were red, less energetic than when he first arrived. He looked
dispirited and unwilling.
Catelyn was taken aback by Cedrick's expression.
The next moment, Cedrick said to Zachary, "Mr. Moran, I'd like to have another round with you."
Zachary rubbed his fingers over the asset transfer agreement that he had just received and raised his eyebrows
with interest. "Oh? Now that you have nothing, how can you bet with me again?"
